But if it was a PSU related problem, it shouldn't happen with Ubuntu as well?

Hi, guys, I am having the following problem: A few months ago I upgraded my CPU from an i5 4440 to an i7 4770. I had an EVGA GTX 1060 6GB and, before the upgrade, everything worked flawlessly. However, after upgrading the CPU, my rig started rebooting at random. At first, I thought it could be the PSU (Corsair CX500) , but I tried my cousin's RX380 and it presented no problem; my GPU also worked perfectly on his rig. So, I sold my VGA and bought another GTX 1060 from Gigabyte, but the PC keeps rebooting at random times. The rest of my rig's spec is as follows: - Motherboard: Asus B85M-E/BR - RAM: 2 X 8GB Kingston (1600) - SSD: Kingston a400 240GB I tried the following suggestions, but none have worked: - Did a clean install of Windows with the most recent drivers; - Updated the motherboard's BIOS; - Reseted the CMOS; - Tested the RAM modules with MemTest86. This leads me to think that the problem might be a driver conflict-related issue. What do you guys think? Is there a way to isolate and identify this kind of problem? It's also worth pointing out that this issue does not happen when I am using Ubuntu 16.04 with the "Noveau display drivers". However, when using NVIDIA proprietary driver, eventually the PC freezes, but I am able to continue moving the mouse pointer. I would really appreciate if someone could help me.

Hi, guys. Sorry for posting after such a long time. Here's the deal: I tried all the aforementioned suggestions, but none have worked. So, I sold my VGA and bought another GTX 1060 from Gigabyte, but the PC keeps rebooting at random times. I am currently using my cousing's RX380 and, so far, the PC is running without problems. This leads me to think that the problem might be a driver conflict-related issue. What do you guys think? Is there a way to isolate and identify this kind of problem? Thanks in advance.

Yes, the PC reboots.

Hi, guys, I am having the following problem: A month ago I upgraded my CPU from an i5 4440 to an i7 4770. I have an EVGA GTX 1070 6GB and, before the upgrade, everything worked flawlessly. However, after upgrading the CPU, my rig started rebooting everytime I try to enter a game or watch a video (and sometimes just navigating through Windows) . At first, I thought it could be the PSU (Corsair CX600) , but I tried my cousin's RX380 and it presented no problem. My GPU also worked perfectly in his rig. I already did a clean install of Windows with the most recent drivers, updated the motherboard's BIOS, and the problem persisted. The rest of my rig's spec is as follows: - Motherboard: Asus B85M-E/BR - RAM: 2 X 8GB Kingston (1600) - SSD: Kingston a400 240GB It looks like some kind of CPU/GTX1060 incompatibility. I would really appreciate if someone could help me.
